The Fairfield Review, An On-line Literary Magazine for the Global Community.


"I don't know that I can explain it any better than by saying, it is the power of the word. What has meant most to me in writing poetry is that people consistently come up after a reading and tell me that they don't read poetry and they don't study poetry, but they understand this. I like to think of it as somehow re-creating for them an important part of the lives that we shared. I feel the same way whether it happens here in Mississippi or in the business world. I'm always trying to tap into the common experience, the things that make us community." --James A. Autry
